Description Martin Lambers 2003-10-27 14:16:57 UTC

gcal-3.01-r1 places its manual pages in /usr/share/man instead of
/usr/share/man/man1, so the man command cannot find them.
qpkg -l app-misc/gcal:
[...]
/usr/share/man/gcal.1.gz
/usr/share/man/txt2gcal.1.gz
/usr/share/man/gcal2txt.1.gz
/usr/share/man/tcal.1.gz
[...]

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge app-misc/gcal
2. ls -la /usr/share/man

Actual Results:  
man pages are in /usr/share/man

Expected Results:  
should be in /usr/share/man/man1

Suggestion: Add --mandir=DIR option to the econf line 17 in
app-misc/gcal-3.01-r1.ebuild?

emerge --info (don't know why you would need it, but since you ask for it...):

Created attachment 19875 [details, diff]
Seperates $(manext) from $(mandir)

einstall already supplies a mandir directive; however, the gcal makefile
expects $(mandir) to include the man1 directory as well. The attached patch
seperates the man1 extension from the mandir variable so that things work
correctly with einstall.
